Wong explores taiko as a music/dance art form that creates spaces in which memories of the WW2 Japanese American incarceration, Asian American identity, and a desire to be seen/heard intersect with global capitalism, the complications of mediation, and legacies of imperialism. Based on two decades of participatory ethnographic work, the book offers a vivid glimpse of an Asian American presence both loud and fragile UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24703/1/louder-and-faster.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24703/1/louder-and-faster.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24703/1/louder-and-faster.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/35176 ER -
